I have a new internet problem on another computer, which is running XP 32-bit, using a USB 2.0 wireless network adapter.
There haven't been any recent changes to the computer (same OS, network adapter, etc.) and all of a sudden when I open the internet in either IE or Firefox, no matter what web page I open, I get the "connection was reset while loading the page" message. I've tried reinstalling the drivers for the network adapter, resetting the computer and modem, etc. but the problem is that I am actually connected to the internet, it just won't load.
It acts as if the "connection is reset" several times a second, because if I click the refresh button rapidly, it immediately shows the "connection reset" message each time, but occasionally it'll manage to half-load the web page I'm on before just going back to the usual message. Just giving all the info I can on this.
So any ideas what's going on? The network adapter definitely works, I just can't use the internet. Oh, and nothing else can either. Things that normally start up and automatically check for updates when the computer starts up show "cannot connect to the server" messages, or something along those lines.
However, Windows was still able to update somehow...
